Flavors of Greece: Lamb Burgers

I love burgers, all of them, in any way, shape, or form. Beef, Bison, chicken, turkey, salmon, and the occasional veggie burger. Hell, I will even eat a shrimp burger if it is put in front of me. I don’t know what it is about burgers that appeals to me, but I have to have one almost daily. Maybe it is the crusty bun, the oozing cheese, or the juicy, flavorful patty? A burger is a work of art and it takes an artist to construct one.

I was having one of those cravings the other night and decided to make lamb burgers.

I usually make my burgers with local, grass fed beef, but I just couldn’t get the combination of lamb and feta cheese out of my head. Why this combination was in my head, I have absolutely no idea. I have never even cooked lamb before; I actually had almost no idea what it tasted like. I think my mom made it for me once and it was just “ok”. Nothing out of this world, but it stayed out of the trash can.

While Picking up my lamb at , I had to get a few other burger necessities:

This is seriously one of the best cheeses I have ever eaten. I love and eat yogurt daily, but their cheese is even better.

I also had to pick up some more of my new favorite burger buns. I feel like I go through an entire package of these weekly! (couldn’t find your name anywhere!) asked me the other day why I have been eating spelt bread all of a sudden. I think I might have a slight wheat allergy, but I don’t have any reactions to spelt. I will save that for another post, but if you haven’t tried spelt, you are missing out.

When I think of Lamb and feta cheese, I instantly become transported to Greece. I wanted to construct a burger with Greek inspired flavors, so I just started throwing things into a bowl:

This lamb burger recipe made my entire body feel like was on ecstasy. Seriously, this is one of the best burgers I have ever eaten. It was the first lamb burger, but I know for a fact it wasn’t my last.
